How would you recommend adding an image as a custom field in WordPress?

Question

I need to add an image to each page in WordPress. I don\'t wish to insert it using the WYSIWYG editor, I just need the url as a custom field, which I later use in the templa

Answer 1

The template I have uses a manually-entered custom field for the splash image of each post. When I'm done writing my article, I upload an image, copy its URL from the upload tool, never insert it into my post, and then paste that URL into the "Image" custom field. Simple as pie and takes only seconds. Insignificant compared to the amount of time it takes me to write an article.
